Very prone to predominant North West winds and with unreliable Springs and Autumns we\u2019re subject to typically dry east coast summers ,meaning we usually run straight out of the dry and into tupping. The type of sheep we are breeding need to be robust and of the right type to firstly get in lamb as a hogget, then turn around and get back in lamb and wean to a high standard as a Two Tooth and in consecutive years. Puketiritiri also has very little natural shelter and with most of the farm at 1000ft above sea level it is very exposed to cold southerlies that frequent us throughout the year, making new born lambs very reliant on their mothers\u2019 mettle and natural mothering instincts.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Property details 865.5Ha of which 805Ha are effective.
